At the Minnesota Golf Show, we were joined on stage by Lift Bridge founder Dan Schwarz and Doug deGrood, the creator of Doogie McShank's vodka bootleg.  Not only did these two talk about starting up their alcohol businesses, but we also snuck a little golf in as well.

The podcast crew also revealed our Dream 18 public golf course at the golf show.  Each of us created a course based on what we thought was the best hole #1,2, etc.  The kicker is, we could not use the same golf course twice, 18 holes and 18 different courses.  Listen to hear what we came up with.
